I have a set of Koni shocks I want to put on the S, and figured I'd replace the bumpstops while I was in there. Koni lists a bunch of different part #s, but the descriptions are... well, vague is putting it nicely. Anyone have any recommendations for a street car on OEM springs, with a few autoxs thrown in?

 

why can't you use stock if you're on stock height?
I need to check this since I will be at least one inch lower..

 

if it's a stock length damper with OEM bump stop, just use the stock bumpstop

 

I could reuse the OEMs, but they were made to a price point and they're almost 12 years old by now.

 

Are the stock bump stops actually damaged, or do you just think they are after all this time?

 

The stock bump stop is very long. It is essentially in contact when the suspension is loaded, which is good for extra spring rate. Cellasto, is what its made of (http://www2.basf.us/cellasto/), but our little expert buddy knew that. It has strong resistance to losing rate but there is no chart for that degradation, which it does. So for the cost replace it with something that will give you some travel. http://www.ground-control-store.com/...tion.php/II=10 I use the stiff, linear version. This a better match to that shock.

 

I use the firm semi linear pictured in the second link, except I cut about 3/8 of an inch off the top and just use that top part.
